Yolinde Magill is a professional ski instructor from Cardrona, New Zealand. She was attracted by the advanced ski facilities and hospitality of local people during her first visit to China in 2016. Ever since then, she has come to China to provide ski training every winter.

Magill came to Lake Songhua Resort in Jilin at the end of November this year, and worked as an instructor and examiner for Chinese skiers.

She has witnessed the development of winter sports in China. As a ski instructor, she believes the industry here will be well promoted with more international cooperation.
